Patrolling and surveillance in cities around the world is a principal activity to guarantee the security of its citizens that is why nowadays the use of technology is of vital importance in order to identify offenses and criminal groups. The present article proposes the development of a model which generates dynamic routes applying artificial intelligence with the algorithm K-means, to identify critical points when patrolling a circuit within Ecuadorian territory. Also, the API tool from Google Maps is used to design the routes and the ways of transportation that are going to be utilized by the police agent. It showed good results in the testing phase and there has been developed a mobile application based on Android technology.
